But it's still on the list . . .

So, here's the state of the Republican Party today, as far as I can tell:

• Gun control is bad. Must ensure that everyone can get guns.
• Access to quality health care, which includes proper mental health care, is bad. Only the people who can afford it, deserve it. And we are doing all we can to keep it unaffordable (Bush II complete lack of negotiating on drug prices in Medicare coverage, for instance).
• Education funding is a waste of dollars, but lets make sure No Child Is Left Behind, practically ensuring a high density of children in every classroom. Security costs money.
• While I'm vilifying, lets go ahead and throw in restrictions on abortion and same-sex marriage and adoption, which only increases the number of children in homes and orphanages where they may be seen as more of a burden than a blessing, and helps to turn schools in to daycares rather than places of education.

You draw your own conclusions about the end result here, and where that has led us in the past years, in light of recent events.
